Food Delivery & General Help

With ongoing building repairs starting in February we have had to close all operations. However given our demand and our mission to serve our community and neighbors we have found a temporary solution to still provide resources.

Wednesdays from 10-12pm and Fridays from 10:30-12:30pm we provide an outdoor distribution (rain or shine) with donated produce, bread, milk, and other items. All excess items are stored in our outside community fridge which is open 24/7

This shift will be entirely outside so please dress accordingly and volunteer spots will be limited due to space.
Please select all that apply.

Re-Opening Shifts

As we begin our reopening phase we need the support of volunteers to help reorganize our spaces and prepare for our Wednesday and Saturday distribution. 

Things like reorganizing our pantry, throwing away unused items, revamping our dining space, and supporting our back end food pantry needs are part of these shifts.

We ask that volunteers that sign up for these shifts wear closed toed shoes, comfortable clothing, and wear a mask as we will be working inside the building.
Please select all that apply.
Thrift Store

With our Nearly New Thrift Store being closed for the past few months we have had a backstock of clothing, books, shoes, household items, and more that need sorting.


Thrifty Thursday members meet to organize inventory and plan future sales events.

Please select all that apply.
Other Current Opportunities!

We're building out our committee and need help beyond hands-on labor such as planning, organizing, and improving how we run things behind the scenes. If you’re interested in helping shape our workflow or have creative ideas, we’d love to have you on board!
Fundraising for our Pantry

Volunteers work to write grants and plan events to raise funds for our food pantry. Committees typically meet virtually once per month and have tasks to complete asynchronously.
